    Hey, all piercing have to be plastic. I had to change all of mine and they then put tape over them
    Not sure why but can’t have anything metal on you. Must affect equipment or something xxx

    so they still put tape over even if they are plastic??
    yikess. il have to go to the shop and hope they have plastic cartlidge rings or studs.

    if not would they let me leave a stud in right up until i went down to theatre and then put it back in once i was back in my room?

    @ness318 yeah they do, they ask if you have any in and then tape them up when you go to the anaethatist room haha. Suppose they can’t risk any complications can they.
    Yeah I don’t see why not! I was going to do the same but didn’t want to risk it because I didn’t know how I’d feel afterwards and some close up really quickly xxx

    It’s to do with in the event of needing to use a defibrillator or something. Metal conducts electricity and causes burns. Not that anyone is going to go into cardiac arrest but it’s regulations that they have to follow when anyone is under GA.
